Guide to Submitting Event Sources

This guide explains how to submit event sources for inclusion in Seeker Events Network.

What is a Source?

A Source is any website or feed that regularly publishes events. Sources act as the “pipes” that feed events into your Discover Feed and ultimately your calendar.

Examples of valid sources:

  • A venue’s events page (e.g., a theater’s “What’s On” page)
  • An organizer’s calendar (e.g., a chamber of commerce listing)
  • A festival schedule page (e.g., “Summer Music Festival Lineup”)

How Many Sources Can You Submit?

You can submit as many sources as needed to cover your community or partner network.

Most organizations start with 15–100 high-quality sources.

Submitting a source does not mean all events will automatically be published. Each source is reviewed and crawled for quality, structure, and relevance before being published to your Discover Feed. Once in the feed, you will have the opportunity to review the events before they are published to your calendar.

Submission Guidelines

To ensure fast approval and high-quality event data, follow these submission guidelines:

✔️ Must include upcoming events

Only submit sources with future events. Pages with no upcoming events or only past listings will be rejected.

✔️ Events must be readable as text

Event details (title, date, time, location) must appear as text on the page. Sources that rely on images, flyers, or PDFs cannot be ingested at this time.

✔️ Must be local, in-person events

Only submit events tied to a physical location. Online-only events (webinars, livestreams, virtual meetups) are only partially supported as map views and geo searches require a location.

✔️ Submit dedicated event listing pages if available

Provide a direct link to the event listings page (e.g., /events, /calendar) — not the homepage if such a page is available. This allows our crawlers to reliably find and extract events.

✔️ Content must be publicly accessible

Sources must be accessible without login. Private pages, gated content, and closed platforms (e.g., private Facebook groups) cannot be crawled.

How to Submit Sources

  1. Download the Source Template
  2. Add one source per row, including:
    • Site or Feed URL → the main website or feed
    • Target URL (Listings Page) → the page where events are listed
    • Example: Site/Feed URL: https://example.com; Target URL: https://example.com/events;
  3. Send the completed template to your Customer Success Manager

How Long Does It Take?

Once submitted, each source goes through a quality check before being published to your Dashboard.

  • Initial setup: 2–6 weeks (depending on quality, quantity and complexity)
  • New sources (post-launch): ~1 week to go live
  • A time estimate will be provided once your initial sources are submitted

Source Visibility

Once your source is published to your Dashboard, events from that source are automatically discovered, structured and enriched and added to your Discover Feed on regular intervals. Events are typically refreshed nightly or weekly, depending on source quality and authority.
